How could anyone be glad a longtime Bartow county business is closing and putting MORE unemployed people out in this miserable economy? I never had a problem with Kmart and enjoyed one less trip to Walmart. Have you seen how many empty buildings we have here in Bartow county in the last 4 years? I hope I am wrong, but I cant see it changing in the next 4. Think of your kids and grandkids. I would love to see them stay here in this area instead of move somewhere else.

This town is dead. Look around you. It's drying up. Yeah, we got a donut shop, whoop di do. Bartow has been dying for about 10 years now. One reason a lot of businesses won't move here is because the 18-22 year old generation are so damn illiterate nobody wants to hire them. They graduate without an education. Get rid of the current teachers in bartow and maybe the intelligence level of graduates will go up.

The most you're going to have here are burger joints. Thank your local teachers. And yes I was born and raised here. This town has cancer.

Half the Teachers in this town do the best they can while being bullied and threatened by the members of the Bartow Board of Education. Heck even the Superintendent is afraid of two of them and their puppet. A few try to do something about it the rest hide on here. Go to a board meeting! Get Angie Cornett's foul mouth and Davis Nelson's self serving butt's off the Board, then you will see Teachers able to teach again. You will see administrators doing their job, not afraid to piss a board member off. This Board is ruining this county and using our school faculties for their kids playground on our dime. I said it before and I will say it again, those standing by watching doing nothing are just as nasty and as bad as the corrupt Board members! Clean this system up from the top down!

I really have never been a big fan of Kmart but that is just because they don't really sale anything that interest me. But I did stop by because they were having a store closing sale and I thought I might pick up some Christmas items and everything was only like 10-20 percent off. I thought that sort of sucked, I was hoping for things to be really cheap..:(

Things are now 20 to 50 percent.. The best time to go is on sat nght around 8 thats when they are changing the percentages on some of the items. Kids are now 40 percent but this sat I heard they will be changing to 50 percent. Store is closing Jan 27th.

I currently work at this Kmart and I greatly appreciate all of the shitheads that actually make my job a living hell. When we got the news that the store was closing we completely stopped caring at all what the store was and how it worked. All of the customers are rude and incompetent as of now and noone actually listens to anything or any information we give. As to all the poeple happy to see it go, I would like to bring to your attentiong the 70+ employees just at this location loosing their jobs some employeed for over 10 years, none of which are getting a transfer to another Kmart. To the people that come in just to say it is better to go to walmart, we now tell you to just go and get the hell out of our face, we are sick and tired of it. This store has been a great work experience for me and I just wish some people would gain some manners before making it our faults that the CORPORATE OFFICE decides our prices and we cannot change them. Honestly I will not give you all my name because I refuse to put up with any more crap from any of the customers.

I respect your views, and I will openly admit that I actually enjoyed shopping at your KMart more than others, including Rome's, Hiram's, and Calhoun's. I didn't have any type of problems from your KMart when I shopped there, and the KMart clothing seems to be much better than most of Walmart's, Target's, and Ross's clothing COMBINED. Now, I will be forced to drive at least 20 miles to get to a KMart once the Cartersville KMart is closed.

To anyone who didn't like the KMart in Cartersville, all I have to say is that they made the choice to go there; they also need to keep their mouths shut. If they didn't like it, then they didn't need to give you hell about it; it's stupid on their part.

Went in there the other day looking for frames. Yes everything is on a percentage off sale but it's still more expensive than walmart after the percentage off. I think they jacked the retail price up to try to come out even ot ahead. And customer service always has been a joke there. Glad to see them go but they should have transferred the good employees to other locations.
